I set up a mouse trap in the garage and have caught several mice

After several peaceful months, I found the trap tripped again and the peanut
butter all gone, but there is no mouse to be found anywhere. How is this
possible?

Mice can lick the peanut butter off of the bait pan. Use a raisin instead;
crush it on to the pan, and they'll never get it off without tripping the
trap.
